Firestone last night was able to reset and re-calibrate it for me, they plug the alignment computer up and boom, done! Stealership can suck it.

 

Very cool, I have my vdc off and slip lights on on too and need to get them reset, or read to see what the issue is. That scanner is ver nice, but is close to $500. Anyone ever use this one? Says it will reset SAS, but I'd like to be a lil more sure before I buy. Also would like to know if it will cycle the ABS pump. I'd rather buy a tool I can keep and fix it myself instead of spending the same money at the dealer

I have seen the scanner I just got on amazon for about 250 there is a slightly different version as well for about 250 the 3160e will do it as well so I was told by the scanner manufacturer below is a link to the 3160e on amazon

^^yes. If I had a tool that would pulse my ABS I would be so happy

Along with the bothersome SAS reset...

 

Thanks, I will look into it! Autel could not tell me for sure if their scanner would do these things, so I'm a bit skeptical about theirs

 

May I ask you how much the Firestone place charged you to do this? Did you have to pay for an alignment check?

 

Not really related to Firestone, but if it helps, the older SAS can be reset without Consult. I forget what year it changed, but the 07 FSM says it on page 125 of BRC:

WITHOUT CONSULT-II
Set the steering wheel in a straight forward position and drive the vehicle at 10 mph (15 km/h) or more for 10 minutes. When the procedure is complete, the SLIP indicator lamp and VDC OFF indicator lamp will turn off.

The new ones seem to need the VIN programmed into the SAS as part of the center position reset for some reason. :dontknow:
I do know the Autel MK808 says it will do it but failed on my 09. I haven't gotten around to spending time with their tech support people to help fix it.

With my autel(maxicheck pro), you can reset it. It's a round about way to get there. I have to go into "abs" menu, then "special functions' and it's in there. Why you can just go into the "SAS" menu is beyond me.

Thank you sir, I didn't know that. Will have to give it a try. I bet @Longboardr would want to know about this too.

 

Should state that mine is a 12.
